Hailing from the tiny country of Estonia, on the coast of the Baltic Sea, the art and craft of woolmaking and garment-knitting have been a part of the region’s folk culture for more than 800 years. “We have a beautiful line of ladies’ ponchos and timeless northern cardigan designs for the whole family,” said Avelin Yost, president of Baltic Inspirations. YellowMan www.yellowman.com Phone: 212-764-2221 Whether hitting the slopes in Aspen, carving the waves in Kauai, slamming city pavement, layering beneath a suit jacket or kicking back at home, YellowMan has a stunning collection of wearable tattoo art. Founder Peter Mui started the concept of YellowMan with the premise that skin color should never be a barrier. Of Chinese descent but born in Oklahoma, Peter’s identity breaks all cultural stereotypes – he proudly exudes Chinese heritage on one side and is a down-home country singer on the other. Peter thumbs his nose at the derogatory label “Yellow” and instead declares it a badge pride for those who dare to be different. Peter has traveled the world to build an impressive art collection that represents a wide range of tattoo styling, including Japanese Irezumi, Maori tribal, American traditional, new school, biomechanical and even rare work from a remote Buddhist monk in Thailand. Drawing from this amazing collection of tattoo art, YellowMan prints and carefully constructs garments making sure the art falls on the body where the artist intended the tattoo to appear.
